Organization leaders want to be inclusive but fear they have to be perfect. Often that fear prevents them from acting in the best interests of their organization or community.

Although many leaders are well-intended, the gap between intention and strategies must be closed. Most leaders want to be better, but lack the tools they need to bring their inclusive values to life. For years, Dar Mayweather has helped well-intended leaders overcome the fear of doing inclusion perfectly by sharing thought-provoking and insightful personal stories of failure and success. Through activities and assessments, Dar tells participants how inclusive leadership transformed his life from apologizing for terrible behavior to teaching inclusion across the country!

Learning Objectives

1. Identify and understand social identity group experiences.
2. Reflect on how we experience social identity privilege and oppression.
3. Increase awareness of diverse leadership capacities
4. Develop acceptance of individual and collective strengths/limitations within the community.

This program is ideal for:  early-career professionals, new supervisors, HR training managers, and mid-level managers.
